I took my daughter to see Wall-E the other day. I really didn’t go in with a lot of expectations since I had barely read many reviews. I kind of knew the premise, but didn’t know a lot of details. All in all, I enjoyed the film, but the filmmakers certainly took a subtlety lesson […]
I took Bridget to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday. We had planned to go for a while since it was her first day of summer vacation. I don’t mind going to see kid movies. I always look at a trip to the theater as nothing but escape so this was right up my alley. I […]
Ever since I heard that Kevin Spacey intended to make a movie version of Ben Mezrich‘s book “Bringing Down the House,” I knew I would want to go see it. I really enjoyed the book (even though it is coming under fire for possible made up facts), love Vegas, and just thought it lent itself […]
With some free time and no child to worry about on a Thursday evening, the movie theater beckoned. The stupidity of “Semi-Pro” delivered. Once again, my wife and I proved that you don’t have to use your brain to get your money’s worth at the movies. Will Farrell played pretty much the same character he […]
I went looking for something good to watch this morning before the second day of the basketball tournament started. I scored big time as “Meatballs” was one on of the movie channels. I love this movie. I think it doesn’t get enough credit for how entertaining it is. Plus, this scene pretty much summed up […]
The glamorous people will gather in Hollywood tonight to pat themselves on the back. We’ll have a more low-key ceremony here for the sixth edition of The Brians. Each year’s edition of The Brians brings something special. This year, we have taken the “Best Animated Movie” category from last year and re-named it “The Bridget” […]
In the future, I might leave choosing the movie up to my wife. When I scanned the movie ad for the weekend, I didn’t even see this listed. Thank goodness she checked the ad out also or we might have ended up seeing something crappy instead. ‘Juno’ deserves every accolade it has received so far […]
I can think of a lot of strange ways to spend a Sunday morning, but I think I topped them all last week. I didn’t intend to get up early and go see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert movie with Bridget, but I also didn’t expect the movie to sell out multiple shows before I […]
So Jason Lee might be a wacky Scientologist nutcase, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying “My Name is Earl.” And it didn’t stop me from loving “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” Naturally, the movie was Bridget’s choice, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Alvin, Simon and Theodore. I remember listening to […]
If I wanted to write a snarky review of Enchanted, I could say that I liked it better the first time when they called it Splash and included John Candy quoting Swedish porn (check the 8:30 mark of this clip) in order to rescue the damsel in distress. But I won’t do that because I […]
